Flora by Gucci Glamorous Magnolia

The first few times I put this on I didn't like it. It was sharp and heady. But the dry down piqued my interest, so I kept trying it on. One day I was in a rush and just grabbed the closest perfume, which was this one, and sprayed it on randomly and rather further away than I usually do and then magic happened. There was no more sharp and heady scent. Just this soft, interesting, unique smell that I usually get after hours into the dry down. It's floral but not heady, musky and sweet but still airy, and it's cocoa without being sugary. I LOVE it. It's a nice break from all those typical floral-fruity and sweet gourmand scents going around. It's staying power on my skin is moderate, maybe 3-4 hours. But on my clothes it lasts all day. I read one of the reviews here saying that it's similar to acqua di gioia, I couldn't disagree more. Acqua di Gioia is absolutely sharp and rancid on me.

this is my first perfume from a swap,oh my goodness I adore this sent,i would happily give away every single I perfume I own,on my its sweet without being cloying,overpowering,its light,it wafts around me in the breeze,its like a sunny day walk with my girls near the sea with flowers bobbing their heads on the sea air,the birds singing and just a happy to be here day,my kids loved it,mummy you smell scrumptious,i put a little on a hanky so they could smell it in their bedroom,its green and light and clean,it suits all ages,even my mother in law is on the look out for a bottle after having a spritz of mine,over the moon

After having Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia (another one of Gucci's Flora Garden Collection) for a while, I wanted to test out some other versions I'd seen of the original Gucci Flora perfume. This is the one I decided to try. I know this is odd, but it seems to have a bit of everything in it - warmth and sweetness with still being fresh. I can see this being suitable for many occassions; going to work/school/uni, going somewhere nice or simply hanging around with friends. Like Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia, I'm impressed with the staying power for an eau de toilette, lasts the whole day!

My new favourite scent for summer. It opens up fresh, green, citrusy & in a word - summery. Then the florals kick in, but not a sweet or sickly floral, just one that suits my body chemistry & smells really pretty. It doesn't last more than about 4 hours, but that's what I want in a scent I wear in summer. Very feminine, pretty, & I adore the bottle. Looking forward to wearing it right through the upcoming Oz summer

the scent remind me a lot of melon notes. (actually, it is not melon note. it is peony note. sweet, fresh, flowery and green vibe. peony, magnolia and citrus are dominant in this scent. for me, this perfume is too girly. overall expensive, moderate longevity, sillage is soft, not elegance at all, too feminine and too girly. i say, Gucci Flora is created for summer and spring season. i rate it 7/10
